I think I've found a new "specialty" -- Wedding Dress Quilts. My mother gave me her 62 year old wedding dress and I made a quilt out of the satin, lace and buttons (see the pictures below). I'm so happy with the result, and she was thrilled!! It's a whole cloth quilt, with lace added, and is about 40" square. I put their wedding picture and invitation on the back.
Seems like an interesting idea for specialty quilts -- I already have 2 other people who would like their wedding…

Here is my new favorite machine quilting pattern -- "modern" feathers! I drew on paper first, until I got it down, then had a great time doing this practice quilt. This is the back, the front wasn't square, so it's a mess :( I found the design on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqiiin9QJxk&feature=related …

Am I crazy? I've lost a quilt - even lost the picture I had of it!! I made a quilt and it was on our bed all summer. I remember taking it off the bed...but where in the world did I put it?
It's not with my other quilts, I've been all over the house -- and now have realized I don't even have a picture of it. I keep photos of all of my quilts, apparently didn't remember to take that one?
How can I lose a queen sized quilt? I'm sure it will turn up in a really obvious place…

Mary, you do such lovely work............... Thanks for sharing....
Do you do all your own quilting too??
Mary, I really want to talk with you more on the wedding quilt you have made...I have a close friend that his daughter married and has asked me to make her wedding dress into a quilt. I am in great fear......... and really would love some support and more info on how you made yours. How did you cut the fabric and what type of thread did you use to sew it with, for starters?? Any help you might give me would be awesome...... In fact if you would like to you can use my email address so as not to "gobble up" space here......... cancb@rochester.rr.com
Please help, I really am afraid of messing this up so I haven't said yes yet......
Thanks so much!!
Hugs,
Carol from upstate NY
Mary, I really like your quilts, especially the ones that are pieced, appliquéd and then you have thread painted.
I am loving your quilts!
